Chapter 200 The Master Strategist
“Wait for me downstairs. We’re going in together.”
Jade didn’t think much of it, assuming Julian had his own business with Silas.
“Fine.”
When the two of them appeared at Silas’s door together, the man raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Julian.

“Mr. Foster. I thought you were in the middle of a massive deal. I didn’t think anything could make you abandon your work. This is a rare sight.”
Julian was unfazed. “Mr. Faith’s business is far more important than any contract of mine. How could I stay away?”
Silas’s gaze lingered on Jade for a moment. He saw the truth but didn’t say it. He stepped back to let them in.
Jade followed Julian inside. She was a bit lost in their banter, so she stayed silent.
As they sat down, Julian stood up again, went to the kitchenette, and poured a glass of orange juice for Jade.
“Thank you,” she whispered as she took it.
Silas watched them. Usually a man of cold, unchanging stoicism, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of amusement at Julian’s attentiveness.
“Mr. Foster, have you forgotten whose room this is? Playing the host in my suite? Shouldn’t I get a glass too?”
Julian didn’t look bothered, but Jade felt the sting of the joke. Her juice was still untouched, so she immediately offered it to Silas.
“Mr. Faith, please. Have this.”
Before Silas could answer, Julian gently pressed Jade’s hand back down.
“He’s joking. He doesn’t touch anything sweet. It would be a waste on him.”
“Oh…”

Jade awkwardly pulled the glass back and took a small sip.
From Julian’s tone, it sounded like he and Silas had known each other for a long time.
Silas let out a dry chuckle and dropped the subject.

The room went silent for a few seconds before Jade set her juice down and pulled the recorder from her pocket.
“I followed Amara Hoyt to a lounge. I managed to get inside their room. I found something… major. You should listen to this.”
She played the recording. Silas and Julian’s expressions turned stone-cold as they listened.
When it finished, Julian looked troubled. Silas’s dark eyes were unreadable, his mind already spinning with the implications.
Jade waited for them to speak.
Julian was the first to break the silence.
“I remember this man, Victor Hales. He was Lyndon’s right hand-highly capable, fiercely loyal. Many firms tried to poach him, but he never budged. He knows every secret Lyndon has. if we find him, this case is over.”
Silas’s voice was heavy.
“It won’t be that easy. We don’t know if Victor died in that crash or if he’s just gone to ground. If he wants to stay hidden, finding him will be almost impossible.”
Julian leaned back against the sofa, his arm draped casually over the backrest behind Jade.
“You think there’s a chance Ronald is still alive?”
Silas nodded slowly. “I’ve been away from the family for a long time, but I knew Ronald. If he were alive, he wouldn’t have let Lyndon and Amara run wild for this long.”
“I’ll have my people look for Victor,” Julian said. “He’s the weak link.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Silas’s expression remained flat.
“Be careful. Don’t tip them off.”

Jade finally asked the question that had been burning in her mind since she entered the room.
“Is this enough for you to move against Hudson’s company?”
Silas answered immediately. “Absolutely. I’ll have the wheels in motion tonight. Within forty- eight hours, Hudson will be so buried in corporate crises he won’t have,time to breathe. That should buy you all the time you need to find the final piece of the puzzle.”
